I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist. There were so many other opportunities to post that, but I decided one was enough...or too much, whichever the case may be. _________________Grand Admiral Derek Brand

Okay... given that gifted assets seem to make up major portions of a lot of militaries, I've come up with an idea on how to make it right.

The original thought from CMAC, BTW, was to have whoever gave you the assets agree to buy it and then work out an arrangement that way. That's... unlikely to work well, especially given that many factions assimilated earlier, smaller factions.

Instead, I need a list of assets that were gifted (Rebs, Imps... this is gonna hurt )... then you'll get the rough equivalent worth sent back to purchase available craft. Now, obviously... since things like Akulas are gone, and the Empire isn't exactly handing out Executors to everyone this time around, you may not be able to get exactly the same stuff.

Also, another note. I realize its probably very tempting, but it wouldn't be particularly fair if the asset wipe was used as a massive modernization program. To give an example of what I mean, I'll use the Empire

Say 75% of our Navy was foreign-made, obsolete, or simply out-classed vessels. Now, prior to the reset, back when we were flush with cash, we did research on an entire generation of warships to replace our older or otherwise undesirable equipment.

It wouldn't be fair if, in the process of this reset, we simply discarded the unwanted stuff in favor of shiny, new, powerful craft... now would it? If we replaced our TIE/lns with Defenders? No, that wouldn't be particularly fair at all.

Now, I'm sure no one here would actually do something like that. But... you are also a devious lot, so I'm sure some have at least though of it. <_<

>_>

Me included.

Now, I won't force you to cripple yourself with this reset, but... if your fleet was, say, half old stuff and imports... try to make the new one the same proportion. That's all. _________________
